Nuclear Water Discharge: IAEA Denies Endorsement of Japan “Fukushima” Discharge Plan! (5.7.2023)

The IAEA will have a continued presence at the Fukushima Daiichi plant site to review, monitor and assess the discharge activities for decades to come, Grossi said, adding that whether to allow other countries to participate in the supervision is a decision to be made by the Japanese government.

During Grossi’s press conference, a group of protestors gathered outside the Japan National Press Club to voice opposition to Japan’s ocean discharge plan, shouting “The sea belongs to mankind. Don’t dump polluted water into the sea,” and “No discharge without consent. Keep your promise to the fishermen!”

At the invitation of Japan’s foreign ministry, Grossi started his four-day visit to Japan on Tuesday, including a trip to the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.

Contextualising ‘On the Jewish Question’ By Karl Marx! (2.7.2023) 

Questioning the mythology of religion is an important and vital aspect of ‘freedom of thought’ and does not constitute an ‘attack’ upon religiosity. Questioning the legitimacy of religious belief is an important component of a liberal society as it prevents religious groupings from ‘justifying’ criminal acts based solely upon the idea that an ‘immunity’ from prosecution is in effect premised upon the mere holding of a ‘religious’ belief! A ‘religious’ and ‘irreligious’ individual, (living within a Bourgeois State), should be held liable for their actions in front of exactly the same Secular Law. To this end, this is a text rich in insight written by a young Karl Marx just out of University and on the brink of marrying Jenny Westphalia. Perhaps there is something of the love and light euphoria of those times – which emanates from the pen of Marx!

Politico: “American Whitelash” Far from Over! (4.7.2023)

“Three years after the eruption of protests following the death of George Floyd, Lowery isn’t convinced that America is any better prepared to deal with whitelash as a political force, let alone a cultural one — particularly as we head into a sharply contentious presidential election,” the report noted.

“People have talked for years about civil war,” Lowery was quoted as saying. “We don’t have something as embedded as slavery anymore, but we’re going in diametrically opposed positions; we’re ripping ourselves apart from each other.”

“I certainly think that’s true. It’s a soft civil war. One of our historical blind spots is thinking multiracial democracy — what America should be — is a settled question. Many people are not sure of that,” added the reporter.

Israel Launches Large-Scale Military Strike on Northern West Bank! (4.7.2023)

The Palestinian side on Sunday slammed Netanyahu for his policy of motivating Israeli Settlers to commit more crimes against the Palestinians.

“Netanyahu’s boast of killing large numbers of Palestinians since the formation of his government motivates settlers to commit more of their crimes against our people,” said the Palestinian Foreign Ministry in a statement.

Since January, 24 people, most of them Israelis, have been killed in a series of attacks carried out by Palestinians, and more than 175 Palestinians, including children and women, were killed by Israeli Aggressors and Settlers, according to official figures.

The Case for Karl Marx NOT Being an Ethnic Jew! (2.7.2023)

His mother was the daughter of a Prussian (Christian) aristocrat. Marx would have experienced Judaism very much in the same objective manner that most non-Jews do – through the pages of academic books and perhaps the odd site-seeing tour. Indeed, Marx even penned an article addressing the so-called ‘Jewish Question’ – where he treats the presence (and activities) of Jews with an alarming frankness. This has led a number of commentators to treat Marx in something of a unique way, as he is simultaneously accused of being a Jew on the one-hand, and acting in an anti-Semitic (Secular) manner on the other!

Palestine: UN Confirms (Ongoing) Israeli Human Rights Violations! (1.7.2023)

The PFLP calls upon the Palestinian People to build on this ruling (that follows-up the International Resolutions related to the Human Rights of the Palestinian People) by working to implement it – whilst the PFLP provides support and backing for this approach! This is doubly important considering the persistence of the Zionist Fascist Government in its continuous approving and implementing of what amounts to “Settlement Judaization Projects” throughout the West Bank and Jerusalem!
